So if you don't find a lot of dirt in the filter after about 40 to 50K of driving, where does it go?
When I pull many and most paper filters out after 30K of service, it is quite a load of dust, sand, bird feathers and all kinds of guck in there, and that is in LA with paved roads all over the town.
Another thing that disappoints me is the fit of the filter in the NG900 and 9-3 models (three different rectangular filters).
The rubber flange is not quite big enough to seal properly so I have seen on some cars a dust trail sneaking by on the outside between air box and filter.
But this is just my opinion.
Some people drive happily ever after with Bosch Platinum plugs too, ;o)
